Apr 22nd 2024
Hemp is a versatile and sustainable plant with a wide range of uses that naturally help our bodies and our planet. From protecting our land to nutrition and wellness, hemp can be a healing power for the earth and for you.
Our bodies can benefit from hemp and its many nutritional values. Hemp seeds are a rich source of fatty acids beneficial for heart health, and packed full of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Hemp seed oil is also edible but is more popularly used in skincare and hair products due to its moisturizing properties. Another powerful healing alternative provided by hemp is CBD, cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound commonly used to relieve swelling, discomfort, stress, and sleeplessness. Even eco-friendly clothing can be made from hemp which has strong durable fibers that are naturally resistant to mold and UV light.
Hemp cultivation requires significantly less water and land compared to many other crops. It also needs fewer pesticides and has the ability to draw out toxins and heavy metals to improve soil quality. During the growth process hemp plants absorb significant amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to combat climate changes. Additionally, hemp can contribute to the reduction and dependency on fossil fuels by producing biodegradable plastics.
Hemp offers a natural approach to healing for both the earth and our bodies. The potential for hemp is still being researched and hopefully incorporating it into various industries and daily practices can lead to a healthier future for all.
